Kane and Big Show were well-established singles wrestlers before they were paired as a tag team. The first time these two giants teamed up was back in 2005 at Taboo Tuesday, with WWE booking them to challenge for the World Tag Team Championship.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

At the PPV, Show and Kane made quick work of Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch to become Tag Team Champions. But this wouldn't be the only time the pair would lift the prestigious belts.

The seven-foot giants became Tag Team Champions again in 2011 when they defeated Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel of The Corre. Although the two monsters were a seemingly unstoppable duo, their prime weakness was the numbers game.

The first time Kane and Big Show lost the tag team championship occurred when all five Spirit Squad members cooperated to pull off an upset victory. The second loss occurred when CM Punk and Mason Ryan interfered to help David Otunga and Michael McGillicutty of The New Nexus become the new champions.
